Good read, Hank. The depth at Defense is clearly an issue. We don’t have a bonified #1 goalie to bail us out of the high quality chances given over the losing stretch. While both made some quality saves, (Anderson vs Boston in particular) both let in their share of softies as well.
I can live with our forward line-up.

As many have noted, the like of Tuch, Olofsson, Krebs, Skinner need to produce.

I’ll call out Tuch this stretch. The effort was not there nightly. Bad turnovers, stupid penalties, none of the leadership qualities that made us fall in love with him early on. He needs to get going first iMO

Tuch hasnt been playing well, but what about his leadership qualities? Pretty telling that he didnt wear a letter or now wear an "A" in okposos absence.

Not everyone is a leader, guys bring different skill sets

Tuch needs to use his size and speed more IMO

Tuch is a supremely chatty guy.

That's not often the quality you want in a leader.

Rasmus Ansdersson for VO? Anyone? Money is the same. Just a thought.

When you coach not to lose instead of coaching to win, you deserve to lose.

Inkwell hit the nail on the head on the previous page, how many times have the Bills found ways to miraculously lose close games ?

Why is the Bills record in one score games so poor ?

Lot of that is coaching.

It’s 4th and 18 and you bring 4 guys and give Kirk all day to throw and don’t impede the receivers at the line knowing damn well Kirk needs a few seconds for them to get past the sticks ?

You’d think they’d have learnt from Hail Murray and 13 seconds.

There can be more than one right answer here.

You should expect your defense to hold a 17 point lead at home with 17 minutes or however long it was to go. At the same time, you need your $50 million quarterback to win those games when it's on the line if they do. If Allen doesn't throw the first pick in the red zone, we're probably not talking about a loss, let alone the 2nd.

What's starting to concern me is play-calling. There's rumblings of Allen not taking the check down receiver, but was there even one on available on that last play?

Interesting thought.

Chatty vs. Few, but important words .

Zem probably grunts in Latvian for conversation

I greatly appreciate how hard the man plays and how much he competes every week.

Never taking that away from him.

Oh me to, just want him on the field, keep the golden arm safe.

Odell Beckham could fill that possession reciever spot ☝️

Vancouver is an absolute wreck. They're getting ready to fire the coach and/or blow it up. No excuse not to hammer them tomorrow.

I like both tbh, but if i never see Pilut, Clauge,Fitz or Bryson, IMO Bryson is a ok 7th D not 4th

Samuelsson injury shows just how important he is to our success.

The contract was the first indication

I'd say no chance Andy plays. It seems like he needs a week between starts.

Makes you wonder if Anderson was nursing some sort of injury or soreness.

Yes Singletary was wide open and had an easy 5-7 yards.

Calgary hangs the phone up, not that I wouldn't do that trade. But VO isn't getting him alone.

It's that and the odd man rushes. Won't win much giving up three breakaways and five other odd man rushes per game.

Have we talked about yet the fact Okposo could have leveled Eichel instead of inviting him to score a hattrick? I think it was forgotten in all the meltdown.
